Whilst perusing the local hobby shop's offerings of the LiPo variety, the shopkeep suggested the Glacier brand of batteries as an alternative to Hyperion and ThunderPower.  He said that the RC plane, drone and car enthusiasts in the area were very enthusiastic about the price, longevity and performance of the Glacier brand batteries.

In lieu of purchasing, I felt compelled to consult the greater consciousness that is the Stunthanger e-brain collective.
